> "Amwrican interests" is a euphemism for "revenue and potential revenue of America's rich and powerful." I have news for you. In geopolitics, “interests” has always meant primarily economic interests, and economic interests have always been of greatest relevance to the rich. Take the great powers on the eve of World War 1, as an example. Britain had “interests” in Egypt. Russia had “interests” in Turkey. The United States has “interests” in Panama. Millions of people died for these “interests” in WWI. What is meant by “interests” here is business interests. Specifically, Britain seized Egypt in order to control the Suez canal, which was important because it connects the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and British merchants exported goods to Asia through the canal. All of Russia’s exports had to go through the Turkish straights (controlled by the Ottomans at the time), which connect the Black and Mediterranean Seas. The United States was interested in Panama of course because the Panama Canal was a major conduit of maritime trade between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Such “strategic interests” are the reason behind every war ever fought, it may not be right but it’s nothing unique to the US.
